of our harbour modernisation plan of our harbour modernisation plan

The Harbour (the Norfolk Terrain, Second

Harbour and Havenkwartier Noord) is being

developed into a mixed area for living, working

and leisure. The Municipality will make and leisure. The Municipality will make

substantial investments over the coming years to

modernise the harbour (refurbishment of quays,

boost fishing industry, new houses, cable car, a

new art museum). The final plans for the

harbour are less ambitious than the plans

presented prior to the economic crisis.

Type of conclusions and further actions

• The main priorities of our harbour modernisation are focusing on economic objectives

• The Plan does not show an integrated approach ? The Harbour Modernisation Plan only helps for nine of the 25 key objectives of sustainable and integrated urban development.sustainable and integrated urban development.

• The Plan is rather balanced and integrated ? The objectives that are positively influenced are important. So even at this stage the Plan is attractive.

• Start discussions with other departments to improve and broaden the Plan. All options should be used.

• Check with staff members of other department the priorities chosen. May be they see benefits in the Harbour Modernisation that we did not yet took into consideration

“The restaurants, shops and leisure activities

will attract more traffic than the old harbour

and its old industrial facilities”

Example of comment

It is clear from the results obtained with the RFSC that the

main objectives of the Harbour Modernisation Plans are

economic. The social objectives are only improve housing,

public space and the attractiveness of the area. The negative public space and the attractiveness of the area. The negative

impact on emissions and air pollution does not show in the

final profile of results, because this negative impact is

"compensated" by the positive impact on other

environmental objectives (biodiversity, improve built

environment). Start discussing with other departments and

deputy mayor to strengthen the plan. Although, politically the

deputy mayor can "sell" this plan as rather integrated.
